Isaac will discuss "Lesson's Learned in Bootstrapping Central Desktop." Some key points he will cover include:

1. Be patient. It takes longer than you'd expect to start generating "meaningful" revenue so you need to be personally and financially ready for this.

2. Outsourcing is overrated. Key functions like product design, engineering and sales need to initially come from the founders because the voice and purpose of your company and its products cannot be fully understood by a third party.

3. Tenacity and dedication are what will most likely determine whether or not you are successful.
